  ABSTRACT: An experimental investigation was conducted to study the effect of hybrid composite specimen subjected to in-plane tensile and compressive loading. The laminated specimens in accordance with ASTM standards were fabricated using steel and nylon bi-directional mesh as reinforcements and polyester as the binder. The various volume fractions and fiber orientations were used in which the percentage of polyester (40%) was maintained constant. From the investigations it is revealed that, the specimens with higher percentage of steel sustain greater loads & also the strengths are superior in case of 0/900 oriented specimens. A relationship between the tensile/compressive strength, fiber content and orientation has been established.
